THE cYcLoNE-wREcKED TOWN
a Large Force of Men working Night anC
Day Repairing the Damage.

WHEELING, W. Va, April 17.-All day
to-day the sound of the saw and hammer
broke the stiffness of the Sabbath in the
cyclone wrecked towns of Martins Ferry
and St. Clairsville, over the river. Though
TWO days have now elapsed since the storm,
little progress is noticeable in clearing
away the debris left by the storm, and
quarter of a century will scarcely efiace the
ravages. The destruction of groves, or
chards and lawn trees is an item of the loss
which is incalculsble. All day thousands Of
sight-seers have flocked to each of the two
towns Railroad and steamboat excursions
brought the residents for miles around and
all the roads were lined with vehicles.
The rain fell this afternoon, adding to the
damage, as many houses and valuable
stocks of goods are yet roohess. A large
force of men is working night and day
roofing buildings, and the Western Union
Telegraph Company has all its available
linemeD stringing wires, a work attended
with much difficulty, as many OF the poles
are broken in two or three pieces, the
stringers carried away and the wires buried
beneath tons of debris. A few miles north
of the track of the cyclone hailstones fell
to a considerable depth, some of them as
large as hens eggs. This seriously dam
aged young fruit trees.

Found Dead.

CHICAGO, April 12.-The dead body of an
unknown man was found in the
woods on the banks of the Des-
PLANES River, near the suburban
town of Niles Center, this morning. The
man had been suspended by rope to the
limb of tree, but the rope had broken
aud the body lay PROSTATE on the ground.
The remains were those of middle-aged
man, well-dressed and of a cultivated ap-
pearance. He had evidently been dead
only one or two days. There was nothing
on his person to identify him, aud the res
idents entertain the view that he was MUIR
dered by tramps.

DETROIT, April 12.-The vote cast at last
weeks election was officially canvassed to
day. Full reports have not been received,
but so far as known there Is nothing to
materially change the result as already
published. The majority against the pro-
hibiIion amendment is close to 3 500. The
Prohibitionists are contesting every point,
but so far have gained nothing. The IN

LONDON, April 1S.-The Mark Lane Express in
its review Of the British grain trade during the
past week says: The deliveries OF native wheat
have been restricted. The remainder of the
crop in hand now is supposed to be small.
Values are hardening. The sales of the English
wheat during the past week were 81, 967 quarters
at S2s Sd against 10 514 quarters at Sos 1Od during
the corresponding week last year. Foreign
wheat is firmer, although the inquiry is inact-
i've. In the Liverpool market prices are Id
higher Quotations on wheat csrgoes on passage
are nominal. To-day wheat was quiet but
steady prices were rather against buyers. Flour
was steady. Corn was firm. Oats was 81 96d

EXTENSIVE SEIZURE OF CIGARS.
Several Thousand Captured by the Gus
toEl-House Authorities of Now York.

NEW YORK, April 12-The custom
house authorities here are making des-
perate effort to break up the extensive
business done in smuggling cigars on
steamers running to Cuba and West Indian
ports. To-day an extensive seizure of
cigars was made. AS soon as the Santiago
arrived in port everything on the vessel
was sealed up by the custom-house Off
GERS, who then went through the ship and
found concealed in various parts $50
cigars and seventy-five bundles of cigar
cites. The captain was sent for, and ex-
planned that he merely signed the manifest
as placed before him by the purser, who
made it up at quarantine. The expla-
nation was satisfactory. The following
additional seizures were added to the list
in the Treasury agents office: Steamer
Cienfuegos, 1,600 cigars; Niagara, 400;
City OF Alexandria, 3,400 Saratoga, 400
cigars and $500 cigarettes. All the goods
were entered on the ships manifests as

Talk of an Extra session of Congress.

NEW YORK, April IA Washington
special says that Senator Beck is urging
upon the President the necessity of calling
an extra session of Congress as early as
September. He believes that, with the reve-
nues coming in, there Will be serious con-
traction of the currency unless Congress
takes measures to prevent it, or unless
bonds are bought at high premium. The
President has told the Secretary that he
does not think an extra session necessary.

STATE SOVEREIGNTY.
Conflict OF Jurisdiction Between the state
and Federal Courts in Georgia.

ATLANTA, Ga, April 15.-There is con-
tsict of jurisdiction between the State and
Feceral Courts in Georgia, which is likely
to assume considerable Importance. Will
lam ". Miller runs distillery in De K4lb
County, which he refused to close in Ooe-
dienee to the prohibition law. He was
indicted therefor before Judge CLARK, and
was on trial, when, by a writ of habeas
corpus, be was taken from thai court
and the case transferred TO the Federal
Court. This caused Judge Clark TO write a
letter to Governor Gordon, in which he
denounced the action of Judge Pardee as
an infringement on the States sovereignty,
and asked that the State take measures TO
protect itself against such encrosch-
meDts. He said: "As / understand il, II
is a sin against the very alphabet OF the
law to convert the writ of habeas corpus
into continuance for defeating criminal
trial" The State will appear as a party to
the case in Judge Pardee's court, and
claim jurisdiction OF the prisoner.

Parrots i'm Need of Eerormat;o,

Speaking Of reforming bad animals"
said Mr.. Burns, 81 am now trying to I'M
prove the morals of bad parrot. I saw
in the paper that man is advertising for
a swearing parrot, one that can curse up
hill and down dale in several language;
preferred, but he will do if he is really tai
ented at English swearing. That is, a
most uncommon advertisement. The
worst trouble with parrots is that So ilors
teach them toswear, and then people do
not want them. They are hard to sell. /
suppose the person who put that adver-
tisement in the paper wanted tho Eird for
q bar room or some other resort where
cursing is congenial and amusing. Well,
this bird which was sent to me to-day
would suit that person, am sure. Such
a swearer / never heard. 1t rips out
string after string of the most appalling
oaths-English, Spanish, French, but
principally plain sulphurous Saxon. 1t
was sent to me from Brooklyn to be broken
Of the habit. The people couldn't have it
III the house, and they did not like to part
with it, it is such smart bird There is
only Que way to break them Of swearing,
and that is by keeping them covered up
and in the dark until they forget every
thing they know. Then You have to begin
afresh and give them their education all
over again-a good moral education. You
can cure them this way. I have cured
many by that plan. Parrots forget read
lily il treated to solitude and darkness
This particular parrot had been the prop
erty for long time Of a sailor, and had
made several voyages with him: The
man who wants swearing parrot can be
accommodated if he searches the forecas-
ties of ships coming from the tropics. -

It is said the Japanese can sit stiller
than any other people, their habit of self
control being from earliest childhood q
part of their conscientious duty. Watched
two Japanese students at the terrific
thunder and lightning tragedy of "Clito"
the other evening, and through the whole
play was In rapt admiration at the way
in which these Japanese gentlemen main
tanned their most perfect and inyincible
calm. Such self control as theirs must
command respect and wonder. No lurid
scenes of Athenian splendor; no jealousy,
terror or despair, not even murder and
death, could relax muscle of their grave
and rigid faces. Not word during the
performance did they exchanges; not once
did they move their programmes. They
enjoyed the good acting and the attractive
stage setting probably to as great, if not
greater, degree than many Of their neigh
bors, but their faces did not proclaim it.
How it makes one wish that greater pro-
portion of our audiences were of that ar
tistic, beautifully self governed people
who can sit perfectly still.-Boston Post.

Successful Newspaper yyrjterS

The most successful newspaper writers
ore gentlemen. Bad fellows sometimes
creep i'll, but you will find them also
preaching the gospel, healing the halt,
pleading for justice, selling tape and op-
Grating banks. There are drunkardS
among the reporters, but the tiplers are
never called to the front. Good news
paper men do not find time to be con-
vivial. Their duties require their constant
attention, and their heads must be clear
at all times. To allow their heads to be-
come muddled by drink would be their de-
struction. A reporter must be q gentle
man If he hopes to succeed. He must
also be modest, charitable, honorable and
truthful and experienced in the ways Of
the world. He must go about his bust
ness in quiet manner and not like a
roaring lion seeking whom he may devour.
Beware also OF the reporter who makes
a great display of note book and pencils
sharpened at both ends. He is "duffer"
IN the profession. AS to the sdead beat, I"
he has no place within, and we do not see
him as frequently as formerly. This is
right; for it is more of q crime for news
paper man to be O dead beat than it is for
a doctor, q clerk or q stone mason, because
he possesses certain but silent process of
intimidation not known 20 any ether class.
Experienced men with hardy constitutions
and tough skins dislike to gain the ill will
OF any journalistic cat if they can avoid ii.
Instead OF doing so the party with the te-
nacious cuticle keeps his peace and thereby
places premium on future depredations
and vilifications. The honest newspaper
man will not use his giants power like a
giant; and he will hasten to correct any
mistake or misstatcment that he has
made.-New York Graphic.

New Uses for the Shoe Buttoner.

1t is singular fact that nine out of ten
of the buns and tramps brought into the
station house have on their person shoe
buttoner. No matter what kind of shoes
they wear, still they have one Of these
simple instruments. Lieut.. Handbook
decided week ago to make collection
of the shoe buttoners taken from the
prisoners brought into Bremen street
station. In the seven days they numbered
eighteen, and like young ladies do with
their strings of buttons, he attached them
together. He has now chain some
three feet in length. A peculiar thing is
that the hook end is bent into variety OF
shapes. The penchant for having button.
rs attracted the attention of the detect
iscs long ago, and it happened to strike
some bright minded policeman that
The little instrument could be made
20 do the work of q skeleton key, as
far as the locks in common use were con-
cerned. In reality, the shoe buttoner, to
all intents and purposes was converted
into q burglars tool, and still could be
readily passed Off as a necessary nipple
ment in arranging ones toilet The pos
session of skeleton key is serious
offense and carries with it conviction of a
penal term. The law, however, cannot re-
gard the shoe buttoner as q contraband
article, and still the evil intending are as
well fortified with it as with the burglars
favorite tool, since, when properly shaped,
it does the work equally as well. The ex-
pert can pick lock with one of these
little iron hooks with as much facility as
il he had q skeleton key, and yet if caught
with it in his possession enjoys immunity
from the statute covering the offense.
Usually, when one of these instruments is
found on prisoners person it is thrown
away, or perhaps given back If the owner
is released. No doubt lie the course of
year several hundred are taken up by the
police. The amount Of theft that could
be traced to them would very probably
prove startling Cincinnati Enquirer.

Railroads in War.

The first thing fer boy or a girl to re-
member in considering war is that SOL
diers must eat. 1t is generally supposed
that the most important duty Of soldier
is to fight; but this is q mistake. He
must eat before he can fight, and more
battles have been lost because comman-
ders could not feed their armies than be-
cause they could not fight the enemy.
The control of the railroads is the object
of every great campaign in modern war.
Whoever holds tho railroads can move
troops aud ammunition and food to the
important point more quickly than the
enemy. And everything depends upon
being stronger than your enemy at the
important point. One man is nearly as
go)d as another man, at least on the
average. Ten thousand men of one nation
are nearly sure to be worth 10000 of an
other; ard certainly in the great American
war, wherc all the men were of the same
nation, there was little difference in the
fighting quality Of the opposing forces.
One side had more dash, the other moro
endurance; one perhaps went into battle
more frlriously, tho other should say
held ont more stubbornly; but in the end
the men on one side were about as good
for fighting purposes as those on the
other. Whoever had most men, there
fore, was most likely to win. But they
must be equipped and fed. To have more
men than you can feed is worse than not
having enough.-St. Nicholas.
